– 주로 스몰토크 주제로 뭘 꺼내시나요?
🐰 뭐하다 오셨냐, 밥 먹었내… 그게 끝인거같은데요? 왜냐면는 진짜 솔직히 얘기하면는 저는.. 친해지고 싶다! 라는 마음이 잘 안들어요!
누굴 봤을때 친해지고싶다는 생각이 막 태하같이 특별한 케이스가 있다던가, 첫눈에 반한 계기가 있음 모르는데 일단은…— ️ ²⁶톺 (@DOYOUNG__21) November 13, 2024
“Question: What type of topics do you usually use for small talk?
Doyoung: I usually ask what they were doing or if they ate…and I think that’s it? Because, to be honest, I don’t really have any interest in becoming close with anyone. Unless it’s a special case like Taeha or falling in love the moment I see them, I don’t have any intention of being close with anyone…so I don’t really think a lot about what to talk about. Becoming close with someone requires time and effort…I think just being natural is the best…as I don’t try to force myself to become close with someone…so I usually just hang out with people I always meet…”
He also shared his tips for avoiding small talk.

At music broadcasts, there are times you get in an elevator with other singers. Usually, you just greet each other, but for me, this is not meant in a bad way, but I just don’t want to talk sometimes. So I just find one corner of the elevator and just stand facing the wall.

As a true introvert, he shared what he usually does at home.
– 혼자 집에있으면 뭐해?
🐰 저.. OTT보고 누워있고 자고.. 그게 단거같아요
아 저 실내바이크를 사서 실내바이크를 타요 실내바이크 타다가 땀이 꽤 나요
실내바이크를 최근에 샀거든요 전현무 실내바이크라고 유명해진게 있어요 선배님이 탄 거 보고 아 이거 탈만하겠다 생각해서 샀는데 땀이 꽤… pic.twitter.com/I3exu0vRBD— ️ ²⁶톺 (@DOYOUNG__21) November 13, 2024
“Question: What do you do when you’re alone at home?
Doyoung: I just watch OTT platforms and lie down and sleep. I think that’s all. Ah I bought an indoor bike recently. I saw Jeon Hyun Moo riding it and thought it would be a good idea and you really do break out in sweat! So I ride it in the morning and night and it feels like I’m losing weight and getting healthy.”
What are your thoughts on this?
